Advice on illegal train voyage

I refer to this text: "The solution is easy and cheap - go to Zagreb train station, and check the timetable (it is registered as internal traffic) for trains going to the village of Sutla. There are 7 trains a day going there. Buy a ticket till Sutla (1.5 Euro), and stay onboard after the train passes Sutla, to the slovene village of Dobova (it takes 5 minutes, no conductors). From there it's easy to continue your way to Maribor and Ljubljana." I think HitchWiki shouldn't encourage other travelers to travel illegally by trains even though it is a good tip for those with less money. Opinions? --Sigurdas 21:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't really mind. It does depend on how things are written. There are more general trips like this (for example about how the control works in a certain city or country or how to access some petrol-stations while climbing over fences and walking over 'private property'). In my opinion public transport should be for free and whenever you get caught, you can always give this as a reason. I have gotten away with it once in Amsterdam by letting the conductor know I am an conscious non-payer. I am not sure about legal consequences for hitchwiki (since it is based in Germany), but there are a lot more tips in this wiki that are not considered legal anyhow. As long as we don't hear complaints from anyone, why bother? --Robino 17:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
